What the coverage shows

All six outlets agree on the scale and setting of the protests, with tens of thousands marching in Madrid and other Spanish cities over the housing crisis. Reuters, France 24, BBC News and Al Jazeera frame the coverage around failed or rejected housing measures in parliament, while the Guardian similarly stresses new legislation failing to pass. Sky News is the only outlet to foreground the forcible eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal, and BBC News is the only one to specify that more than 50 protests took place.
